I just mentioned a few days ago how I am always dragged back into this senseless and imaginary "benzo war" by others.
Leave it to an anonymous poster to drag me back into it. How ironic. Oh, and I've totally been wanting to use this picture for awhile. It's so fitting:
Oh... Where to begin?
The "single-mother-narcoleptic empathy" ploy that they tried to pull? Nice try. I'm amused.
I read most of Aesop's Fables as a child, and I suppose they just stuck with me. Ever read The Fox and the Crow? The crow has a piece of cheese in its mouth. The fox distracts the crow via flattery and beguilement. The fox then asks the crow if its voice is just as sweet and beautiful as the crow is, and as the crow caws to let the fox hear its voice, the crow drops the cheese. Of course, the fox steals the cheese. That's all the fox wanted anyways. Lesson to be learned: Beware of false flattery, and in this case, empathy.
*Of course I XXX'd out the name. If "Anon" is allowed to be anonymous, the other party should be given the same exemption as well, even if I find both sordid in multiple ways. I wasn't going to publish it (and maybe I'm a bit demented) but I like to watch the sneaky fox get humiliated. We all can try to figure out who this Anon might be, as well as the 2nd party referred to as "he".
*Sure, "he" and I have not been the best of friends. Look through my blog. The Cease and Desist certified letter was no joke, nor was my forwarding emails to the Internet Division of the FBI. Doesn't seem so friendly now, does it?
*Humans have deceit radars. Humans also have *brains* that simply tell us when something is "off". Their comment reeks of sheer and blatant mendacity. It has an unspoken (yet still clear purpose). Strange.
*Narcolepsy doesn't take a backseat for anything. If someone is going going to feign empathy via a common trait with someone else, they should probably read up on the feigned condition. Anon doesn't love me. :-) They proved my "If you loved me or cared about me, you would Google it!" theory.
*They follow my blog, but not "his"? That seems VERY strange, as "he" is THE ONLY topic in their comment.
*I imagine that the other blogger is alive and not terminally ill. Unless we believe in ghosts (who also happen to type and blog on a daily basis?), but we don't.
*Anon claims that BB is an internet playground for "him". Which might make the average person conclude the following:
1) Anon was bashing BB (but for what reason? Readers: Recall the blog post Before you jump ship);
2) Anon claims to not know this person, who has not personally affected them, yet they somehow forced Anon to leave BB? They're either incredibly weak, or... advertising for BW? Hmm.
*I think Drama Llama should take their benzo forum/power-trip weirdness/freak show elsewhere if that was the intention.
*Since they apparently know of my blog, yet not "his" (strange again), I'll clue all in on a recent occurrence. It appears as if a real name had been published yesterday on the other blog. Let's just say that it's expected for "him" to do this, but not "her". She, of course, thinks that she has a reputation to hold on to. If she is who I think she is, she's delusional. I wonder what this 3rd person did to anger others?
*One must ask: Where oh *where* did he get this info from? It isn't difficult to figure that out. Think of the past. History repeats itself often. Maybe I'm wrong. People swap emails and forwards all the time in loony benzo forum land. I'm not saying people who take benzos are loony, but if anyone stumbles across this blog, I offer some advice: Don't join any "support forum" for benzos. The strangest things happen every now and then. People get friendly, trust each other, give out info, someone gets pissed off and seeks revenge. Then one day you realize that Lyndon LaRouche has someone looking at your blog for 3 hours a week, and then you get legal threats that aren't even legally applicable from a "spiritual healer" from the UK. Before that, some anonymous weirdo makes a blog and posts 130+ blogs about only you, without any logical reasons behind it. This of course has been only *my* experience, and I'm sure it's not common by any means.
*Who does Anon think they're fooling? The additional stories of Disneyland and their sister's integrity are quite laughable. I guess Anon never lied to their parents as a teenager? First rule: When lying, you're never supposed to be so detailed. Such fanciful and chronicled stories are always dead give-a ways for lies.I learned that when I was 14. You're supposed to come across as vague and indifferent if you don't want to get caught. Oh, and this "tip" should also stop around the same age. Grow up.
*I don't accept apologies from insincere people. Ever. They're not sorry. They're full of shit, with intent to deceive and apparently harm others. To make matters worse, they're not even *good* at coming across as sincere. Anon never said they were hurt by the other party, so what's up with the "Do you know if he died?/ I heard he was dying" comment? Not here. I don't know, I don't care, and I'm almost 32. I'm tired of drama, and have been for quite awhile.
*If I were to give Anon advice, I'd say: I think benzos are the VERY least of your concerns, my dear. Your comment is bizarre, psychopathic, and reminds me of 7th grade style-ish gossip.
* To Anon: I received your other comments. If I'm wrong, and you're insulted, my apologies. I still sense something is off, and that you are trying to mess with me and "him", and I can't apologize for my instincts. I'm a very nice person. For better or worse, I'm also a "mind fuck" expert, and I'm not even a sociopath. You can't "mind-fuck" a pro. I'm not proud of this. Again, I'm nice. Ask around. But piss me off in a very serious way/hurt me/hurt those I care for? I'm not very nice in those cases, and I go straight for the jugular. I don't like this "trait" by any means, and it's embarrassing to describe or admit to it. It makes one look like a horrible person, a real sociopath. Yet it can also save you from a lot of bull-crap. So... maybe you are in fact a single mother with narcolepsy. Anxiety disorders often co-exist with narcolepsy. It's neuroscience, and I'm no expert, but they're both related to one another as they affect/are affected by the same parts of the brain. But narcolepsy is a rare disorder to have, and what are the chances that we both have it, and we were both members of BenzoBuddies? Very slim chance. Why the crudeness regarding "him"? How are you involved? I think I know everyone who has been tangled up in this, and I don't recall someone else with narcolepsy being a part of that group. His email address is out in plain site on his blog-- email him via proxy and ask him yourself. How would I know more than anyone else would? None of it made/makes sense to me. I'm on no bandwagon or "with" anyone. I never asked for (or even imagined) the absurdity of anything that has happened to me. If I had a "team", it would be something like the "Pro-Science/Medicine and Chemistry are awesome/Don't join kook forums" team. I also don't see the purpose in exchanging contact details, and I don't know why you would want to. What goal would this accomplish? I never came across as anti-med, and I never would. The exact opposite, if anything. Lots of people don't agree with or understand someone who takes a benzo and Adderall, but I'm not one of them. Most people think it's mixing and "upper" and a "downer" together, that can't be good/healthy, and wouldn't they cancel each other out? Nooo. You have to disregard other people's thoughts about this if they don't agree with or understand it. I do not want nor need an internet friend. I can't offer you support, even if you're not in this loony "benzo war". All I can say is "Both narcolepsy and anxiety suck, but you find a way to deal with them. By ALL means, take a benzo and Adderall if you need them, and get advice from your own doctor/s". I don't see a point in directly conversing with you, so I respectfully decline your offer.
*So why would this Anon say such things about a "friend" if my guess of Anon's identity is correct? Good question. But... I'm thinking:
*It is a very small world, after all. Some people have NO idea. Things usually have a way of working themselves out at some point.
Leave it to an anonymous poster to drag me back into it. How ironic. Oh, and I've totally been wanting to use this picture for awhile. It's so fitting:
Llamas are adorable, aren't they? They can also be nasty, mean creatures and spit everywhere. Humans do this as well on the interwebs... Their "spitting" tries to engage others into their drama. I disagree with some of the "don't feed the trolls/llamas" theories about how to deal with such people. Ignoring something rarely accomplishes anything.
This Anon poster left a comment. I can't edit comments, but I could not approve it the way it was. I copied the comment, logged myself out, and pasted it as Anonymous. I only edited out a name with XXXX's; everything else remains exactly the same. I did publish it (see previous blog) and I thought... You know what? I want to address this issue with its own post. I'm not ignoring it.
Here is the original comment (again, I only edited out the name, and you'll see why):
I used to be a member of BB until it turned into an internet playground for XXXX.
I follow your blog (and a few others) when I can because I, too, have narcolepsy. For many reasons, single mother being the biggest reason, my condition usually takes a backseat in my life until it becomes a problem for everybody around me, which happens on a regular basis. I understand your frustrations with the pharmacies. I have two sons that need my constant attention which doesn't leave me much time to deal with idiotic people.
Last month I was able to visit my family in Buena Park, and take my sons to Disney Land. "It's a small world" continues to invade my thoughts. Especially after hearing about XXXX.
My sister works for the city in the town XXXX lives. I told her about him, XXXX, over a year ago and she was already familiar with him from word of mouth where she works.
Last week my sister told me in passing that XXXX is terminally ill. I called her yesterday to ask about him and she said the last she had heard is that XXXX is close to death. She's always careful about what she says and doesn't have concrete information yet. Do you know if XXXX has passed away?
